Hello,
Thanks for the query.
Be very careful while taking drugs as few anti tubercular drugs like streptomycin is contraindicated in pregnancy.
Pulmonary TB does not cause much harm to fetus. However if there is genital TB, there are more chances of miscarriage and preterm delivery.
So take rest, have healthy diet, avoid stress. Follow your anti TB medications strictly.
Hope this helps,
regards,
Dr Nilofer
